That was filmed at the Elton John party. Do you know most of all of Gale' heroes as a teenager were gay.

Gale is very articulate when he is talking about something that he is passionate about like film and acting. He gets nervous when talking about about himself personally or what he is trying to accomplish in a performance. People should youtube his talks in front of film festivals and art forums. I just think he becomes highly self conscious when he is himself the subject of conversation.
Not a high incident when all the heroes Gale has mentioned in articles are all gay: William Borroughs, Oscar Wilde, Lou Reed, Morrissey and Tennessee Williams to name a few Gale has identified as his heroes.
I just found it interesting that as a teenager he discovered these artists and I wonder what why he gravitated to them. I'm in Gale' age range and was raised in an liberal northern home and I wasn't even thinking about the sexual orientations of my heroes when I was fourteen. I had just given up the battle of being a tomboy and put on a dress for the first time by my own violation.

Why would you think that Gale was interested in these people because of their sexual orientation. As a teenager he might have gravitated towards them for their artistry, creativity and boldness and not necessarily because they were gay. Perhaps you didn't intend to but that was the implication I got from the way you've worded your post.

Because he said he knew they were gay when he sought out their works. He also said that because he was familiar with these artists when it came down to doing the intimate sex scenes in QAF he already knew what the sex acts he had to simulate were about because of books and music and plays he had read. Gale talked alot about why he left his mother church and how he saw gays being treated in his church. There are alot of Gale articles/interviews posted on Rise N Shine FB page. Read and see for yourself.

As a member of the QAF fandom since day 1, I simply cannot recall such a concerted effort to imply Gale is not telling the truth when he states he is straight. In my mind, a 'fan' does not call the person they admire so much a liar.

As a member of the QAF fandom since day 1, I simply cannot recall such a concerted effort to imply Gale is not telling the truth when he states he is straight. In my mind, a 'fan' does not call the person they admire so much a liar. Alot of fans has said that Gale isn't totally honest on a whole host of issues. The biggest one this year that has gotten alot of attention is his canceling of the QAF convention for a "wonderful work opportunity". Most fans believed he was filming a movie. But later found out that he was at the Sundance Institute and fans at the ItaCon said that Gale said he was truly sorry to miss QAF con but he was invited to particpate and network at the Sundance. I've always chalked the disconnect as Gale being extremely private and self protective. And I call it Gale' speak. And the whole thing about Gale saying he was straight is that he asked the reporter to turn off the recorder like he didn't want to say it on the record. Also according to the reporter, hemmed and hawed before making the statement. But then later in the same interview Gale declared kissing a man to be "primal" and kissing a women as something he "appreciates". Then he went further on to discuss growing up and seeing the hypocrisy as a teenager of gays in his mother' church. Now what is more current and in line w/ your question is that Gale told a number of fans at the ItaCon that he wouldn't be staying in Italy and has to return to LA. Now there is information that Gale is currently in Berlin working on a play that is having funding issues? So did Gale lie once again. Please, the man and is very wary of fans and fame and marches by the beat of his own drummer. He doesn't owe us a definitative blow by blow accounting of his life and whereabouts. And if you think he is the first and only actor in Hollywood that has not be more than upfront about their personal lives then I have a bridge to sell ya. The reason why we don't know Gale or most actors, is because they don't want us to know them personally. And in order to maintain that distance and illusion there is alot of subterfuge going on. Rock Hudson wasn't gay; Michael Jackson wasn't a drugged out drunk; Tom Cruise isn't a control freak who might be gay; the list goes on and on and on.

Sooo, going with your logic, Gale is an habitual liar. I , too, could write a long reply addressing your 'truths', but let me just comment on the interview in which Gale said he was straight. That interview must be understood in the context in which it was given and WHEN it was given. Gale was very concerned that divulging his personal orientation would influence the way in which Brian was perceived by the viewers. He was very reluctant to reveal his orientation because of the possible effect on how his character would be perceived, NOT for whatever reason you think.
I'm going to go now to join the silence your posts receive.

Damn, no wonder he doesn't like to divulge too much of his life...to strangers...especially something like, oh I dunno...intimacy, what goes on in his bed etc.
He can lie and omit/distort the truth (well not any truth just his own) all he wants. It's a free world. He doesn't owe me anything nor does he need to account for his behavior, future plans just cause I am a fan or I paid a ticket to see him. And frankly I don't want to know all the details of his life. He's not Brian Kinney. I bet it's hard to live up to great expectations when one is only human and tying to make a living. And at least he's not starving for attention like some actors.

No one from Hal Sparks to the guy who played Mikey' Doctor boyfriend- didn't need to hide or try to hide their sexuality from the viewers. Nor did Melanie or Thea. And how would being straight effect his playing Brian since the majority of viewers were straight women. This reasoning doesn't make sense. And Mikeduck Bravo!!
